The British areholding, in the face of attacks before which all'- previous fighting pales Into Insignificance, and inilarr ihev nie cotnlrtfi1 back: The withdrawalsreported from Poelkapelle and Langetnarck, southof the Houthulst forest,' are not significant except- I CIaM Vf l 1 V? i rr im nrmnhrtnttas snowing uit i yfor a possible further" losa south of Ypres and doesnot intend to have any large outstanding forcesto the northeast, in danger of being cut off. Bothpositions evacuated are along the Ypres-Stadenrailroad and on low ground. The retirement hasprobahly heen toward the higher ground a fewmiles to the south.The Washington military critics point out thatthe Germans must continue fighting below Ypresor leave themselves open to a counter attack thatccruid completely turn the tables , and might cutoff a great part of their offensive force, the manydivisions they have thrown into the Armentieressalient. This now is a huge, almost circular, battlefield with a comparatively narrow neck, theMessines ridge pointing directly at the gapthrough which von Hindenburg is sending hisarmies. A heavy British counter north from LaBasse or south fnrm Ypres might close the gap, and leave many Germans encircled.On the other hand, a decisive German successnorth from Baillcul or Wytschaete would leavea larpe oart of the British army with a narrowline of retreat, with no chance ofaway from the Germans becauseinundated country from JLangemarck to Dunkirkmuch of which was flooded by the Belgians tohold hack the Germans in the first battle of Ypres.The situation appears to be one of a fight to thedeath. The Germans have, reached a point wherethey dare not stOp.v ' They have fallen short oftheir objectives in Flanders as they, and at no point on their new frontI IIC OTnnn 1'avvc wii iitii ira imk-h in a mn moithey must hold or be beaten, with a possible disaster following defeatIt is British grit against German frenzy, andwhile the Germans must advance to win the British have only to hold their lines to score a victory. The odds just now are on the British, whoare losing many less men and fighting from positions that give them the advantage. The German chances depend altogether upon ' Whethertheir numbers can last out the terrible slaughter.W. S.S.Lawlessness Cannot BeCondoned' In Hawaii ,The Advertiser is inthy with the dissatisfactionmeeting of the Vigilance Committee yesterdaywith the course of the department of justice, wefeel compelled to express regret at the implied endorsement of lawlessness in the committee's formal action in the case of "Captain" Allen.That Walker, the man shot to death by Allen,gave plenty of cause for loyal anger and aggravated the ex-navy man into shooting is admitted.That he has frequently, persistently, openly andimpudently expressed his anti-Americanism andgiven plenty of cause for action by the authoritiesis very true. That there seemed slim prospect oflegal action in his case, judging by precedent, islikewise admitted. But that any citizen, howeverhis loyalty was outraged by this I. W. W. disloyalist, should have taken the law into his ownhands and carried out an execution without authority of law, is something which cannot be safely endorsed, even by indirection.We are in this war to make law respected. Weare fighting Germany because Germany has declared by her actions that she will obey no lawof God or man that interferes with her own desires and checks her ambitions. We are fightingfor the sacredness of treaties and the safety ofhuman life and liberty. And, even in th flameof our aroused patriotism, we cannot afford to endorse lawlessness, even under the cover of loyaltyand respect for the Flag.We appreciate the wave of sympathy that issweeping this community for Allen. Certainly webelieve that there are extenuating circumstancesto be advanced in his behalf, and, in the trial before him he has our most sincere sympathy. Butthat this community, as represented by as powerful a body as (the, Vigilance Committee, can affordto go ott'tocotd fes. endorsing the taking of human' life without legal warrant we do not believe.( This is a law abiding community and must continue to' fee -such.We are well within our legal and moral rightswhen we condemn conditions that provoke law-! lessness and urge action against known traitors,but that is as far as we can go and not run thedanger of writing ourselves down to the Germanlevel, where law is merely "a scrap of paper", tobe torn up and thrown aside when "necessity"dictates.VWt- w- s. s.In buying Liberty Bonds don't stop because onebond provides you with a button.

There are two ships being builttinder government contract, in' 8nFrerteieeo; both f which are 8400 ton,the government having refused to offer coatraete for ships of larger sire,for fear that it would be at a heavy,lose should the vessels fall in their'launching..In order to be able to obtain contracts from the government for shipsof greater tonnage, the Han FranciscoShipbuilding Company would have toplace a guarantee on all the vesselsturned out, of aign aa agreement withthe government .whereby should any ofthe large vessel prov failure, thegovernment ' would be favored withabout one-half of tho losa. To the latter,' Oomyn doe not agree, maintainingthat the ability of successfully launching a veasel of greater tonnage restsin s patent controlled by his company,whereby a diagonal steel reinforcementwith a fbree-lneh mesh is employed as afoundation for tbe concrete.The 3400-ton ship will continue to bebuilt until further agreement betweentbe two parties, so that the governmentwill not be at sueh a loss in ease anyof the large ships prove failures.w. a. a. .GIVEN UP AS LOSTShip Takes Fire and CrewRescued Later Search Indicates Steamer SankAs a result of her cargo catchingfire while she was on her war to Indiafrom Japan, the Japanese steanrer Colombo Maru, of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha line, the first vessel to sail on thenew route between Japan, Hawaii, Calcutta and New Tork, has been givenup by officials of the firm as a totalloss, according to the Japan Advertiserof a recent date. The ship wo burnedat .sea, when about ISO milns from Goto,Japan, short . distance . from . Moji,which -port ihe, bad last left, enroute tothe outl-. i. .' , . j , ,The fire which aued toe destructionof the vessel was probably started inher cargo, as, it is reported, her cargoconsisted of a large supply of safetymatches consigned to the south fromKobe.When off Goto, about one hundredand fiftv mile, fire was seen risingto the deck, and immediately wirelessmessages were flashed to Moji for asaiatanee, which was soon after desnotched and which arrived much toolate, as the vessel was rapidly sinkingand the flames spreading out or. controlof the firemen.According to the report, the SeifukuMaru, of another line, was close bywhen the distress signals were riaahedand was in the nick of time in arriving on the scene. She succeeded inlanding the tired crew of the Colomboin safety at Nagasaki. The crew numbered sixtv-five.Captain Masuzo Poki, commander ofthe Colombo, on his return to M.oji, reported to the Nippon offices there thathis ship was a loss, as lie saw theflames close to the surface of the water, gradually eating away the decks ofthe ship, causing her to sink slowly.A ship was sent out to locate thespot where the Colombo Maru was lastseen, but did not succeed in findingany trace of the vessel, for she waslost out of sight. The vessel was of4584 tons.W. 8. a.LEAVE SHIP ASTORIABecause the captain converted theirhip into a nulling vessel, the eightofficers and crew of the former mortorshlp Astoria, which cleared from thisport in February bound for the south,ieft the ship and are returning to themainlnnd. They left here en route toBan Francisco on the Oceanic linerSierra yesterday afternoon.There was no trouble between thecaptain and the crew, according to thelatter, who said yesterday that theypreferred to return lo the States ratherthnn stay with the ship. The Astoriais now a sailing veaael, and is at Apiu,which port she reached after sailingfrom Honolulu.According to a member of the crew,the Astorin, shortly after she left thiaport, met with an accident, losingone of her propeller blades.
